To be a Legendary Plant

"I'm sorry!"

Said a voice. As I open my eyes, i see in front of me a shining ball of light.

"..." as i looked around me, i noticed that i'm in a dark space with the ball of light being the only thing to look at. And it seems I'm missing a body?

The ball of light continued talking "While I was fiddling with your asteroid belt, i accidentally set a teeny tiny small asteroid towards earth"

"... so i'm dead?"

"Yes."

"..." That made me speechless. 'Man, how unlucky must I be to get killed by a random small asteroid...'

"...Well... To be fair, the whole city you were in? it is now just a crater. So you're not really that unlucky... I think?"

"..."

'ARE YOU SURE IT WAS A TEENY TINY SMALL ASTEROID???' I screamed in my head. After all, the city I was in can be considered a metropolitan. If that whole city turned into a crater...

"Moving on from the fact I can hear what you're thinking and from the crater~ Do you want to continue to the next life or be reincarnated in another world?"

I moved on from the fact I died with the whole city quite easily and quite quickly too. 'I can be reincarnated? But wait... Hmm... You know what?' After thinking about all the reincarnation webnovels I used to read and judging by how much trouble some MCs have when they reincarnated, i decided "Let me go to the next life"

"I knew you would choose to reincar-" before the ball of light could finish, it flickered for a moment.

"wait, aren't you supposed to choose to be reincarnated? do you really want to go back to that world??"

'Huh... you know what? this almost-world-ending ball of light has a point.' That world sucked pretty bad. And now that I think about it, this might be my chance to fulfill the one desire I had.

"Okay, I changed my mind. What kind of world is it and what can I reincarnate into?"

"Nice! Well it's a world of magic and beasts. That's fine?"

"That would do."

"Good. Now you see, we have a vacant spot for a Demon King, a Hero, a King, and a Sage. What do you want to be?"

"Make me a plant."

The ball of light flickered again.

"WAIT! PLEASE! Please consider one of the options I gave you!"

"Plant."

"..."

"Plant."

"..."

"Sigh... why would you want to be a plant anyway?"

"The one desire I ever had in my previous world was to just be a plant that doesn't have to do anything to survive."

"... haaaa... fine... a plant that doesn't have to do anything to survive it is. It shall be done." the ball of light said. Though it had visibly dimmed when it said that.

If I had a mouth at the moment, I would be showing a smile.

Thank God I didn't have to become something like a Demon King or Hero. Just imagining the workload makes me want to pass on to the next life.

The ball of light continued "You'll be transported to a world of magic. Once there, you would be able to check your status by saying the usual cliché words; 'Information'."

"You mean 'status'?"

"That works too. Well, see you next time. Bye!"

After it said that, everything went dark.

And then after a while...

[Welcome to the World of Indradsia]

Hooo, that should be the name of the world I'm in. Not so bad, I like it.

Well let's try it out right away, 'Status!'

+ --- --- --- +

Name: –

Phase: Seed

Species: [Unnecessary to be displayed]

Synthesis: –

Stats:

[Unnecessary to be displayed]

+ --- --- --- +

'.....Well unnecessary your ass!'

Why do I even need you if you can't even show me my status?

No wait. If I think about it, since i'm a seed, my stats are probably very insignificant. I guess it makes sense that then.

But what about my name? My name should have been... it should have been... huh? why can't I remember my name? But also, for some reason I feel like I don't really care about it as well? Strange...

And Synthesis... I guess that should be related to how I would be getting the energy I need, right? Then shouldn't it be Photosynthesis there? I guess i'll find out more later...

Well with that out of the way, I should start acting like a plant.

As a seed, I can instinctively feel that the first thing I should do is grow roots. 'This should be part of the process called germination right?'

I didn't have to think much on how to do it. With just a thought, I could feel that very slowly, I am growing roots. At the same time, I could also feel that I'm just as slowly losing energy.

'This might be bad. If I don't find water, I might end up having to meet that ball of light again' but it looks like for now, all I can do is just keep spreading my roots in all direction in hopes to find water...
